Surrenders five runs in loss Freeland took the loss against the Padres on Saturday, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings while striking out three.

Impact Freeland went 1-2-3 through the opening frame before surrendering three consecutive hits to start the second, leading to two runs coming home for San Diego. The lefty would then allow two more runs in the fourth and another in the fifth while matching his season high with three walks in the contest. Freeland has now given up at least three runs in each of his last three starts and currently holds a 7.43 ERA in August to go along with an 11:6 K:BB. Saturday marked only his second loss since April 14.

Taking seat Stallings is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against San Diego.

Impact Stallings will move to the bench for 22-year-old Drew Romo's MLB debut Saturday. With Elias Diaz out of the picture in Colorado, Stallings and Romo are slated to share catching duties during the closing weeks of the regular season.

Jettisoned by Colorado Pint was outrighted by the Rockies on Saturday.

Impact Pint has given up eight runs on five hits and five walks across 3.1 innings in his four major-league outings this season. He was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, and the 26-year-old right-hander will likely remain in the Rockies' system after going unclaimed off waivers. Across 25 minor-league outings this season, Pint has a 3.10 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 29 innings.

Could throw off mound Saturday Feltner (shoulder) said that he could throw a bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 8 with a right shoulder strain, Feltner appears to have a chance at returning from the shelf in the minimum length of time, or close to it. He said Friday that he's already resumed high-intensity throwing off flat ground, and advancing to mound work Saturday would represent another major step forward. The Rockies should shed light on the next steps for Feltner once he completes the side session.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing another start Blalock is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Padres at Coors Field.

Impact The right-hander will earn a second straight turn through the rotation after he fell just shy of delivering a quality start in his Rockies debut Monday, when he took a no-decision while limiting a potent Diamondbacks lineup to three earned runs on six hits and no walks. That outing came at a more neutral offensive environment at Chase Field, but Blalock will be difficult to rely upon Sunday while he pitches for the first time at the notoriously hitter-friendly Coors Field.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Saturday Freeland (finger) has been cleared to start Saturday's game against the Padres at Coors Field.

Impact Freeland said after his most recent start Sunday versus Atlanta that he developed a blister on his pinky finger during the outing, which likely played a part in him being lifted midway through the fourth inning after just 65 pitches. The southpaw was apparently able to complete his between-starts bullpen session without issue, so he's not expected to be limited by the blister when he takes the hill Saturday. Freeland owns a 5.75 ERA and 1.49 WHIP on the season but has surprisingly pitched effectively at Coors Field, logging a 3.06 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB over 32.1 innings in Colorado.

Picks up steal in win Toglia went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Toglia extended his hitting streak to nine games, a span in which he's gone 11-for-31 (.355). He continues to see steady playing time at first base, and it's been well-earned even though he's in the midst of a 13-game homer drought. For the season, he's recorded a .220/.296/.489 slash line with 19 homers, six steals, 43 RBI, 42 runs scored, eight doubles and three triples over 297 plate appearances.

Swipes bag Friday Doyle went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Doyle is in a groove again, going 9-for-26 (.346) with three steals and four RBI over his last seven games. The outfielder went just 6-for-47 (.128) over a road-heavy 13-game span from July 26 to Aug. 8. He's put together an excellent blend of power and speed this year, posting 20 home runs, 24 steals, 60 RBI, 68 runs scored, 20 doubles and three triples while slashing .266/.324/.465 over 118 contests, though he remains considerably better at home than he is on the road.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits from bottom of order Beck went 3-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Beck has gone 5-for-11 with two RBI over three games since he rejoined the Rockies' 26-man roster. More impressively, he got the start and performed well against a right-handed starter (Matt Waldron) in Friday's contest. Beck is at a .222/.237/.333 slash line with two home runs, 10 RBI, five runs scored and two stolen bases over 93 plate appearances in the majors this year. He'll still have to earn an everyday role, but the top prospect looks poised to push Sam Hilliard for playing time in left field.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Homers, reaches three times Blackmon went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Blackmon has produced a trio of multi-hit efforts over his last five games. He also put an end to a power drought Friday, as the homer was his first since July 22. The veteran is up to a .256/.328/.402 slash line with eight homers, 40 RBI, 47 runs scored and five stolen bases through 92 contests. Despite middling results, Blackmon remains the Rockies' leadoff hitter versus right-handed pitchers.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Goes yard in win Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Rodgers' first-inning blast provided all the offense the Rockies needed for the win. He's been excellent in August, going 20-for-51 (.392) with three homers, 10 RBI and six doubles over 13 contests this month. The surge has him up to a .280/.325/.422 slash line with 10 homers, 44 RBI, 52 runs scored, 23 doubles and a stolen base through 104 contests as Colorado's starting second baseman.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Decent in return from Tommy John Gilbreath walked one and didn't allow a hit or a run over two-thirds of an inning in his season debut during Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

Impact Gilbreath figures to pitch in a low-leverage role for much of the rest of the season. He posted a mediocre 6.23 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB over 8.2 innings during his minor-league rehab assignment while working his way back from Tommy John surgery and a separate shoulder injury. His appearance Friday was his first in the majors since Aug. 26, 2022.
